  1. In the workplace, take steps to securely authenticate users and control network access.

  2. If you don't want wireless used at the office, keep sniffing, don't buy laptops with Wi-Fi and educate workers about unsecured wireless hazards.

  3. Educate employees who use wireless about scams like evil-twin networks.

  4. Build security policies around how and when users can access wireless networks.

  5. Use the best encryption standards available.

  6. Equip mobile devices with a software-based firewall and isolate connecting devices on the corporate network.
